First responders, emergency medical personnel, star athletes
-- all perform remarkable feats in the face of intense stress. But
how often have you heard of athletes, businesspeople, students, or
performing artists who had remarkable talent and enormous
potential, but never achieved the success for which they seemed
destined?

Why do some people rise above adversity and excel under
pressure, and others doubt themselves and panic -- or choke? What
separates them is attitude. Resilient people meet adversity
head-on and bounce back from setbacks. They seem to exude a
natural inner strength. But studies show that they're rarely born
with this outlook; rather, it develops over time. In fact, as this
book will show, you can develop the attitudes that shield you from
stress and help you overcome obstacles.

Drawing on decades of research, scientific analysis, interviews
with nearly 1,000 highly resilient people working in unusually
stressful professions, and the unique perspectives of a standout
team of authors -- a stress-management expert, a skilled
entrepreneur, and a Navy SEAL -- Stronger analyzes the
heroic exploits of the Navy SEALs and others who succeed against
all odds, pinpoints the traits that define the most resilient
people on earth, and reveals how you can develop this vital
competitive advantage at any age.

Complete with self-assessments, engaging and empowering stories,
and Rx prescriptions, this wise and practical book will teach you
how to practice the essential skills that will build your
resilience. With its guidance, you'll be able to:

Make better decisions under pressure

Achieve peak performance

Change any situation for the better -- and live a more satisfying

not just withstand adversity and extreme pressure, but to succeed
under even the most challenging conditions.

Competing in today's world calls for deep reserves of strength
-- in sports, academic placements, auditions, promotions, or
